The master of obscure tweets has returned, as NetherRealm Studios, Ed Boon, left a couple of interesting things on his timeline today for Mortal Kombat X fans.

Most notably there's a video which has a fatality being performed with the screen completely dark, but you can hear all of the sound effects and screams, and many users have already begun to guess at who it could be.

Although there's still a couple of months to go before Mortal Kombat X (MKX) is released on all the major gaming platforms today, DC Comics has been working with the fine folks over at NetherRealm studios to publish a series of MKX comics that explores some of the events that took place between Mortal Kombat (2011) and the new game.

Currently the comic series is up to chapter four, and it has revealed that in the world of Mortal Kombat X, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage are both still alive.

In fact, Kotal Kahn has actually come to Earth seeking Colonel Sonya Blade's help (yep, she's a colonel now... why the heck did she end up with Johnny Cage?) to defeat Mileena over in Outworld.

MK series characters Fujin and Frost also makes appearances in the comic book series. For a more in-depth overview at what's happened in the series so far, check out Perfect Legend's video review of the series so far below.

NetherRealm Studios' own Ed Boon has been active on Twitter lately, as he usually is.

With the surge of Mortal Kombat X news that dropped last week, fans were left licking their lips, anxiously awaiting more. Boon has been addressing as many fan questions on social media as he can, and through this, we how have an idea of when we can expect more.

One Twitter user prompted the MK creator with the question, "when will you drop a hint on the next MKX character?" The response was vague, but certainly promising. "Next week is going to be a lot of fun," Boon replied.

We can hope that this means a new character will be revealed, but at the very least, we can expect a hint at who the next fighter is.

Updated: Nine games have been officially announced for the EVO 2015 line-up. Mortal Kombat X and Tekken 7 (on arcade) -- two games that haven't been released yet -- have been included on this year's list.

Additionally, Super Smash Bros. on Wii U makes its debut at the event. Hit the jump to check out the full list.

Earlier: The folks behind the EVO tournament series are announcing the official game line-up for this year's event tonight.

Mr. Wizard will be joining Mike Ross over at the Twitch offices in order to make tonight's announcements.

Cassie Cage, the daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage, is a brand new combatant making her debut in NetherRealm Studios' upcoming fighter -- Mortal Kombat X.

UFC fighter Felice Herrig -- who first began her rise to fame during the 20th season of The Ultimate Fighter -- took to Instagram and Twitter recently to point out a visual similarity between herself and MKX's new blonde-bombshell fighter. Not only that, but Herrig feels that her look may have been used as a reference for this character during the design process.

"After thorough investigation, I think it's safe to say Mortal Kombat X definitely used my likeness for the video game character Cassie Cage," Herrig wrote on social media.

Below you can see a couple of side-by-side photographs, courtesy of Herrig, in which the two look fairly similar.

After a lengthy consideration process, this year's EVO games are now locked in -- and they're slated to be revealed this week, EVO Championship Series founding member Joey 'Mr. Wizard' Cuellar announced on Twitter today.

I hope you're ready to find out which fighting game titles will be made the main games at EVO this year. If not, well, you have slightly more than 24 hours to brace yourselves. For as it turns out, by "this week", what Mr. Wizard really means is "tomorrow night". Time to get hype, fighting game fans!

That's when a special EVO 2015 announcement Twitch stream is scheduled to happen (starting at 7PM PST). Mr. Wizard is making a trip down to the streaming service provider's offices for this live stream, and he will be joined by Twitch's very own Mike Ross for the broadcast. On top of revealing the EVO 2015 line-up, Mr. Wizard will also be taking questions from the stream monsters.

So make sure to come watch the stream here with us here on EventHubs tomorrow evening (it'll be on the front page as soon as the stream goes live), as we find out what this year's EVO main games are going to be.

Until then, watch the official EVO 2015 trailer below, and tell us your predictions of what the EVO 2015 line-up will be like. Which Smash title will be a main game this year? Will Tekken be part of the main game line-up? Will unreleased titles like Mortal Kombat X make it in? What about the ArcSys fighters?

The latest Mortal Kombat X gameplay trailer is a little different from all of the ones who've seen before; it packs a lot of detail into a very finite span of time.

In fact, the trailer is so packed that there are some seemingly insignificant minutiae you'll absolutely miss if you as much as blink at the wrong moments -- simply because they flash by so fast.

Good thing then, that two notable members of the FGC -- PerFect Legend and Maximilian -- have looked at the trailer forwards and back.

They've gone through the trailer with a fine-tooth comb, sieving out pertinent details like character move analysis and hints of what's in store for the game, and they've edited together clips of the trailer in slo-mo so that we can see what they see.

Wait, didn't Kitana, like, die near the end of the story for 2011's Mortal Kombat? I distinctly remember having to fight a zombie version of her after she was killed off in the story.

Oh, sorry for spoilers for a 2009 game, by the way (are you kidding me... well, at least I didn't tell you how she died, for those of you who somehow missed this great game that's currently on sale on PSN).

It looks like, just like with Kung Lao, Edenian princess Kitana has somehow been revived for Mortal Kombat X. She's the next Mortal Kombat X character to be revealed, and in the latest trailer you'll see below, she faces off against sorcerer Quan Chi.

Like Kung Lao, Kitana also looks different from her MK (2011) appearance. In fact, the only reason we know it's Kitana we're looking at here is because the video description says so: "Featuring the first look at the beautiful but deadly Edenian Princess Kitana, and Kung Lao, the powerful martial artist with razor sharp hat tricks, as they perform a variety of fighting styles and brutal moves."

The trailer also features Kung Lao, Goro, and clips of several other characters in action. Watch it for yourself below.
